Oconto coach Nancee Bucheger said she was pleased with the team's focus and intensity.

"Our defense was impressive and I was pleased with how we were moving our feet," she said. "Laken James, was an incredible leader (and) was tenacious and persistent."

Bucheger had said the Blue Devils had to overcome a well-coached Coleman, which lost their setter to a knee injury last Thursday against Bonduel.

"We were able to stick with our game plan and play the type of volleyball that we are capable of at a high level," she said. "Although they may have struggled a bit, offensively, they did a remarkable job digging and picking up the ball."

Oconto, the No. 2 seed in its regional bracket, will travel to Crivitz Thurdsay to play Lourdes Academy of Oshkosh, the No. 1 seed in its regional bracket. LA defeated St. Mary Center 25-22, 25-13, 22-25, 25-23.
